🇺🇸 Berkeley vs 🇮🇳 New Delhi

Berkeley's climate spans a dramatic range from foggy, cool flatlands to warm, sunny hill neighborhoods. The bay provides consistent marine cooling in the flatlands, while the Berkeley Hills create a rain shadow pattern and frequently sit above the fog layer. Mark Twain's famous quote 'The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco' could apply equally to Berkeley's bayside neighborhoods.

Semi-arid — extreme summers, cold winters, brief monsoon, severe air pollution

Delhi has extreme seasonal swings. Winters can frost; summers regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The monsoon (July–September) provides relief but also flooding. The city has severe air quality problems, particularly October–February when pollution peaks.
